SPC Mesoscale Discussion: Severe Thunderstorm Watch 303… 304…
SUMMARY…Severe storms over southern AL will track southeastward into the FL Panhandle.
DISCUSSION…Several intense thunderstorms, including multiple supercells, are affecting southern AL. These storms are tracking southeastward at 20-30 knots and will spread into the FL Panhandle in the next 1-2 hours. The KMOB VAD profile shows northwesterly flow approaching 50 knots at 3-4 km AGL, which will continue to support supercells capable of large hail and damaging wind gusts. Two inch hail was recently reported in Covington County AL with one of the supercells. Low level winds are veered and rather weak. However, the presence of multiple storm-scale outflow boundaries and large CAPE values may result in localized and brief environments favorable for a tornado or two this afternoon. Also, eventual organization into one or more bowing structures that track across the FL Panhandle is possible.
